The Clan Mackay is an ancient and once powerful
Scottish clan from the country's far north in the
Scottish Highlands, but with roots in the old province of
Moray. They played a powerful force in politics beginning in the
14th century, supporting
Robert the Bruce. Mackays became famous for strength, courage and skill in soldiering and were involved in endless clan battles against Keiths, Rosses, Gunns, Sinclairs, Sutherlands and others, and wars abroad. In the centuries that followed they were very anti-
Jacobite. They played an important role in the military activities of both Scotland and Europe. The
Highland Clearances had dire ramifications for the clan, but since then they spread throughout the world and have provided it many famous and influential descendants.
